    Break Free From Shame — How It Lives in Your Body and How Yoga Helps You Heal with Christy Bonner

    Shame doesn't just live in your thoughts. It lives in your body. And healing it requires more than just understanding it. In this episode of The Nourished Woman Podcast, Keri Marino sits down with Christy Bonner — licensed marriage and family therapist, certified Enneagram teacher, 500-hour yoga teacher and author of Freedom from Shame — for one of the most honest and illuminating conversations about shame, healing and liberation you'll hear. Christy brings a rare combination of clinical depth, spiritual wisdom and personal vulnerability to this conversation — and together they go places most wellness podcasts never go. In this episode you'll discover the critical difference between shame and guilt — and why getting this wrong keeps women stuck, how shame lives in the body and why healing it requires a bottom-up approach not just insight and understanding, the three ways women respond to shame — moving toward, moving away and moving against — and what each reveals about your nervous system, how religious trauma and rigid faith systems create some of the deepest shame wounds and what freedom from that actually looks like, what the Enneagram shame triad reveals about types 2, 3 and 4 — and how all nine types carry shame differently, what it actually feels like when shame stops running your life — in your body, your relationships and your capacity to take up space in the world and how yoga uniquely heals shame by working on the body, mind, spirit and life simultaneously. Shame loves secrecy. This conversation is the sunlight. 🕯️ Meet Christy Bonner:  Christy is a licensed marriage and family therapist, certified Enneagram teacher, 500-hour yoga teacher, former chaplain of 15 years, TEDx speaker and author of six books including Freedom from Shame.  Find her at www.mindbodyandspirit.com On Her Podcast Enneagram + Yoga https://www.instagram.com/enneagram.yoga/ Meet Keri Marino  Keri Marino is a Somatic Yoga Therapist and founder of The Nourished Woman, helping women move beyond overwhelm, anxiety, and self-doubt into embodied confidence and nervous system balance.

    The Mindset of a Woman Who Successfully Practices Yoga at Home — It's Not What You Think

    The woman who practices yoga consistently at home isn't more disciplined than you. She's more desire led. Big difference. In this episode somatic yoga therapist Keri Marino breaks down the exact mindset that separates the woman who practices from the woman who means to — and what actually becomes possible when you stop making yoga optional and start making it yours. Because the goal was never calm. It was always liberation. Pleasure. Feeling wildly alive and free in your own body and life. This is how you get there. 🕯️ If you’re ready for a gentle yoga practice that helps you feel at home in yourself and opens you up to feel more present and alive.

    Surrender is Not Giving Up: The Yoga of Trusting the Process without Shutting Down

    There's a space most women know intimately but rarely talk about - the gap between where you are and where you want to be. It's uncomfortable in a quiet, persistent way. Often confusing and conflicting. Sometimes grief tinged. And filled with the urge to control, fix, shut down, gaslight or force your way through it.  This episode is an invitation to try something different.  Through the yogic concept of Ishvara Pranidhana - the practice of surrender and trust - we explore what it actually means to accept your reality without giving up on what you want or abandoning your feelings. This isn't about giving up or pretending you're fine, it's about learning to take hold of your life with open hands. To take wise, embodied action while releasing the white-knuckled grip on how it's al supposed to look.  If you’ve been wrestling with trust, struggling to accept what is, or exhausted from holding others emotions while not tending to your own — this one is for you. 🌿 Free Resources for Women Ready to Grow  If you’re ready for a gentle yoga practice that helps you feel at home in yourself and opens you up to feel more present and alive.

    Why I Really Do This Work — My Story of Childhood Trauma, Sexual Abuse and Coming Home to My Body

    I've never told this story publicly before now.  In this episode, I'm sharing the real reason I became a somatic yoga therapist - not the professional biography version, but the actual lived truth. The childhood that was full of love and also full of trauma. The religious upbringing that taught me my body was a problem. The relationship at 14 that became two years of sexual and emotional abuse I couldn't name until a class gave me the words. The eating disorders, chronic pain, body image struggles and anxiety.  And yoga - finding me at the height of suffering and showing me for the first time what it felt like to feel light, safe and at ease in my own skin. This episode is for everyone who's wanted my story over the years but hasn't known where to find it. For every woman who has been carrying something quietly for a long time. Who has done the therapy, the inner work, the journaling and still feels like they're living from the neck up...like something essential is just out of reach.  Reminder, you are resilient AF, you were never broken, there is a roadmap forward and you are not alone. I'm here with you and so many other are too.  💜 If If you’re ready for a gentle yoga practice that helps you feel at home in yourself and opens you up to feel more present and alive.

    Done alot of Inner Work and Still Feel Stuck? Here's Why.

    You’ve journaled about it. Talked about it in therapy. You understand your patterns… So why do you still feel stuck? In this episode, we’re talking about the gap so many self-aware women find themselves in — where you know what’s going on… but your body hasn’t caught up yet. Because healing doesn’t happen in your mind alone. Your body has to feel safe enough to actually process what’s there. If you’ve been stuck in overthinking, analyzing, or trying to “figure yourself out”… this will help you understand why — and what’s actually missing. — 💜 If you’re ready for a gentle yoga practice that helps you feel at home in yourself and opens you up to feel more present and alive.
